ID L46 male or female

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Can't tell 100% but I think 1 male 2 females. Snout looks more pointed on the one pointing up. A pic up close of the gills and pectoral fins may help.

Hi thanks
Btw L46 what is the breeding size, cos i have put together with L236and L333.
Will they fight ?
 
I think 4-4.5 inches for breeding. I could be wrong. Google or someone else can correct me if I am. But as far as breeding them with other fish in the tank that won't work. In my experience smaller plecos bred only in single specie tanks.
 
How big are they? Pointing up is male, pointing down both are most likely male as well. However, if you are keeping them at a temp of 80dF or lower, that will cause them to not fill out properly. What kind of diet are you feeding?

As far as breeding size, 2.75" +, but they only will get to be 3.5" SL. They need to be moved to a separate tank, as they require much higher temps than the other species you are keeping should be kept in.

Hi
I feed them with hikari pellet, now i keep it with L333 and L236 together
Size for L46 is 2.4 inch
For L333 & L236 size from 2.4 to 3.5 inch
My tanks size 4x2x1.5ft = 48x24x18 inch
Total there are:

L46 - 3 pieces
L236 - 5 pieces
L333 - 8 pieces

Thanks
 
Still too small to sex accurately and you should be able to keep all those species together. My L46 were raised and bred in the same tank with L260. Wait until they are at least 3" and the sexes will become more obvious
